Net-Zero: the West's Suicide Note | The Pipeline

Net-Zero: the West's Suicide Note | The Pipeline
"In the 1983 U.K. general election, the Labour Party under the amiably leftish leadership of Michael Foot published a manifesto that amounted to a wish-list of extreme socialist policies long sought by the party’s Marxist wing. 
It leant so far to the left that one of Foot’s closest colleagues, the late Gerald Kaufman, described it privately (in a bon mot that was soon leaked) as “the longest suicide note in history.”
Not any longer. 
The last few weeks have seen two longer suicide notes by two organizations more important than an opposition U.K. party. 
  • They are the G7 nations, which Marx might have described as “the executive committee of the global capitalist democracies”—aka the West—

  • and the International Energy Agency which is a specialized committee of the United Nations system and as such the globalist bureaucracy serving all U.N. member-states.
...It is simply unrealistic to expect the world’s politicians to rally support for net-zero emissions by 2050 by telling them there can be 
  • no more oil and gas furnaces for sale by 2025, 
  • half of air travel will have to cease unless emissions-free fuels are developed, 
  • car trips must be replaced with walking and cycling, 
  • no permits will be issued to develop new oil and gas fields, 
  • and no coal plant will be constructed unless fitted with currently unavailable emission-catching equipment...Read all.
